What would you do? (cat question)

We are down to one cat. Buddy. Buddy is a really good cat, by this I mean he doesn't scratch the furniture, uses the litter box and not the floor, doesn't hop up on the kitchen counters, mostly doesn't throw up (although this wouldn't mean a bad cat, just one that needed extra care.) Buddy needs no extra care other than the typical brushing.

When we adopted Buddy about 6 years ago, we adopted his cage mate, too. Bobby was relentless in attacking Buddy. Buddy could hardly rest, because Bobby would attack him and Buddy had to fight him off. After Bobbie died, Buddy blossomed. He has finally stopped being startled when he is asleep and I touch him. He is a happy cat.

However, when my husband and I are out of the house, Buddy is on his own. And he has no one but us to play with. Considering his past, maybe this is a good thing.

Or should I get another cat, about the same age as Buddy, to give Buddy company? Or am I running the risk of another bad time for Buddy?

Why would it have to be another cat? My chihuahua Rose gets lonely when we leave. She's very into her people lol. I got her a kitten to keep her company. River is still young so she loves to play. My girls love each other.
